steve cohen of memphis, congressman cantor of virginia. there is an extraordinary amount of anger and it's beyond anxiety. it's a kind of blind anger. and you know this is where analogies get very complicated but remember what happened on you know stevenson was spit on in dallas. lady bird johnson was jostled. there have been many moments of furry and anger in the country but this feels a little rawer and a little rougher and therefore all the more-- all the more dangerous. and it is not that we've never had conflict. it's not that there is not a legitimate case against the health-care bill. this isn't about that. this is about people who in greater numbers than historians usually can summon right now are actually threatening lawmakers for votes that they made in the congress on a bill that john dingel who has been in the house since 1955 said is to the right of where nixon was. >> right. >> i mean it's still hard for me to understand that it's only about health care it didn't be. i mean what could be so devastating to people about trying

"the new yorker" reported recently quoting a democrat from virginia saying this, we should have gone in and done the kind of stimulus that would actually turn the economy around. we ended up with something that was strong enough to prevent a depression. but it just wasn't strong enough to stimulate the recovery. would you concede that it didn't do as much as you thought it would have done to spark recovery? >> absolutely not. i think it has done exactly what we said it would do. and i think -- >> clearly it didn't do what you said it would do, which is to keep unemployment at 8%. >> what we said it would do, to save or create some 3.5 million jobs. it's absolutely on track to do that. i think it's a big part because the reason we've seen, as the president said, we're beginning to turn the corner. experts across the ideological spectrum give the recovery act a lot of credit for the dramatic change in the trajectory that we have seen. it has absolutely supported unemployed workers, absolutely helped state and local governments. we are investing in this country in a way that is helping

a little like the statute they are suing under in the state of virginia. i take it that's -- if that is is remotely possible that's a longer process, is that right? >> well, i don't know -- absolutely amending the constitution in wisconsin is a longer process. i also don't think that specific legislative proposal has any more viability than polling this litigation issue to the floor and having a vote on it. nor do i believe that legislation necessarily is going to give us any more authority to proceed in a lawsuit if we wanted to. what we need is to be able to let courts determine whether this is a constitutional law or not. it appears a number of governors and others are scared of. >> have you spoken since the last time you were on our show, any communication or even your staff with that of governor, any word about this? >> we haven't. i'm still waiting for to you forward me that letter. as of last notice i still haven't gotten it. >> greta: you haven't heard anything from him at all? >> we haven't. it is my understanding that he had submitted a letter. i
